Thank you for being a subscriber to The Rubesletter! It’s Black Friday which means bring on the email shilling so… This holiday season, consider giving the gift of a paid subscription to a friend, family member, or that weird guy at work you think might enjoy it. Or even better, give it to someone you think might hate it. Imagine their confusion when they get my nuanced and humorous words in their inbox every week! Ah, good fun. As a reminder, paid subscribers to The Rubesletter get access to exclusive subscriber-only content and the sweet glow that comes from supporting funny/mindful deep dives in a world of TikTok dance challenges. If not, no worries. I get it. And as always, thank you for reading. And have a great Thanksgiving weekend! -Matt © 2021 Matt Ruby Unsubscribe
